Just Write (2010)

Let's write:
put on some music
close the door up tight
and just be ourselves
for a while

let's write
don't know where my fingers are
but there's words coming up on the page
and I'm certain they're mine today

let's write
of things falling apart
of things put together
of my love for you
of my love for my love for you
of the night outside our window
the people dancing on 2nd street
the music you don't know how to play
the girl in the window of the corner grocery
the awkward silence of us
that light just before the dawn hits

let's write the mountains
preserve them forever
quick, before they fall to the sea
let's write your face
hanging quietly on the wall
I'll bet it lasts
longer than the mountains

let's write something together
that wasn't there before
I'll send you a reason
you send me a rhyme
Maybe we just might
get it right this time.
